3 A. EXPLANATORY NOTE. I. General 1. The purpose of this Notice of Proposed Amendment (NPA) is to envisage amending Decision No 2003/10/RM of the Executive Director of the Agency of 24 October 2003 on certification specifications, including airworthiness codes and acceptable means of compliance, for European Technical Standard Orders (CS-ETSO). This NPA proposes to introduce new ETSO specifications related to various subjects and based on transposition of existing national equipment specifications. The scope of this rulemaking activity is outlined in ToR ETSO.001 (Validation of existing national equipment specifications) initially published on 15 December 2004 and is described in more detail below. 2. The Agency is directly involved in the rule-shaping process. It assists the Commission in its executive tasks by preparing draft regulations, and amendments thereof, for the implementation of the Basic Regulation 1 which are adopted as Opinions (Article 14(1)). It also adopts Certification Specifications, including Airworthiness Codes and Acceptable Means of Compliance and Guidance Material to be used in the certification process (Article 14(2)). 3. When developing rules, the Agency is bound to following a structured process as required by Article 43(1) of the Basic Regulation. Such process has been adopted by the Agency s Management Board and is referred to as The Rulemaking procedure This rulemaking activity is included in the Agency s rulemaking programme for It implements the rulemaking task ETSO.001 related to the transposition of national specifications into EASA CS-ETSO. Existing national approvals and certificates based on national equipment specifications, but not incorporated in CS-ETSO are deemed to be grandfathered in accordance with Article 2(13) of Commission Regulations (EC) No 1702/ if they are within the scope of the Agency as defined by Article 4(1) of the Basic Regulation and these parts and appliances fall under the definition stated in Article 3(d)) of the Basic Regulation. However new approvals or certificates cannot be granted if there is no detailed airworthiness specification issued by the Agency. The objective of this rulemaking task ETSO.001 is therefore to complete the transition from national aviation safety rules into EASA structure by formally incorporating, where appropriate, national specifications into CS-ETSO. Using a list of national specifications proposed by the Advisory Group of National Authorities (AGNA) and selected by EASA, this NPA deals with both the national specifications proposed to be transposed into CS-ETSO and the rationale for national specifications that will not be transposed. 1 Regulation (EC) No 1592/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 July 2002 on common rules in the field of civil aviation and establishing a European Aviation Safety Agency, OJ L 240, , p.1.

Content of the draft decision 8. The text of this NPA was developed by EUROCAE in the framework of a specific contract awarded to EUROCAE by the Agency. Amendments or introduction of new ETSOs proposed to Subpart B of CS-ETSO: Index 1 ETSO-C100b: Child Restraint System (CRS) At the end of 2003, the JAA Equipment Steering Group expressed already its willingness to set up a group to address such subject. EASA decided to take up again the idea with a targeted new ETSO expected to be based on a German National Technical Standard (NTS), NTS-1 titled Child Restraint System (CRS). However an FAA TSO-C100b with the same title is in existence from October Page 5 of 48

6 Considering the various options the Agency decided to adopt this existing FAA standard to develop a corresponding ETSO-C100b. The current FAA standard is based on the SAE document AS 5276/1 Performance Standard for Child Restraint Systems in Transport Category Airplanes, dated September It should be noted that the FAA is revising TSO-C100b and is expected to issue in 2007/2008 a revised TSO under reference TSO-C100c. The Agency will consider updating its ETSO accordingly. ETSO-C132: Geosynchronous Orbit Aeronautical Mobile Satellite Services Aircraft Earth Station Equipment This new ETSO was initially proposed to be based on the French standard reference QAC- 59a specifically dedicated to the approval of satellite communications SATCOM which was designed only for use by passengers (voice and data). However presently, SATCOM is being used for passenger service but also for airlines purposes. Therefore the Agency decided to use the FAA TSO-C132 issued in March 2004 as the basis for developing the ETSO. The existing FAA TSO-C132 has been developed from the Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics (RTCA) document DO-210D titled Minimum Operational Performance Standards (MOPS) for Geosynchronous Orbit Aeronautical Mobile Satellite Services (AMSS) avionics. The ETSO considers DO-210-D at Change 1 and 2 as acceptable. This MOPS with Changes 1 and 2 is an acceptable standard for transposition into ETSO. Although there is a Change 3 issued on September 19, 2006 by RTCA, this Change is not necessary for the release of the ETSO since it mainly addresses the high speed data service not used for ATC purpose for the time being. For harmonisation reasons this ETSO is therefore kept consistent with the current issue of TSO-C132. Index 2 ETSO-2C78: Crewmember Oxygen Mask The initial idea was to create a new ETSO based on the German national standard NTS- 16 specifically dedicated to the approval of Crewmember Constant Flow Oxygen Mask. It should be noted that no ETSO on Continuous Flow Oxygen Mask was currently available for transport category aeroplanes and ETSO-C103 Continuous Flow Oxygen Mask Assembly is only available for Non-transport Category Aircraft. Since the standard for demand masks is identical to the one for these constant flow masks (with only optional additional requirements), it is worthwhile to merge both variants in one ETSO which should be included in Index 2. Therefore this new ETSO replaces existing ETSO-C78 Crewmember Demand Oxygen Masks. Its applicability is now extended for both Crewmember Demand Oxygen Masks and Crewmember Constant Flow Oxygen Masks with additional requirements as provided by NTS-16 Crewmember Constant Flow Mask ETSO-2C512: Portable Gaseous Oxygen Supply This is a new ETSO developed from the German national standard NTS-4, which is based on AS1046 (SAE). Page 6 of 48

7 This national standard is not covered by any Agency ETSO or by any FAA TSO. For the transposition into ETSO, the German national standard has been revised with the support of the DRAEGER Company to be in line with the ETSO format. ETSO-2C513: Tow Release This is a new ETSO developed from the German national standard NTS-9 Tow Release. This national standard is not covered by any Agency ETSO or by any FAA TSO. ETSO-2C514: Airborne Systems for Non Required Telecommunication Services (in Non Aeronautical Frequency Bands) This is a new ETSO developed from the German national standard NTS-22 Airborne Systems for Non Required Telecommunication Services (in Non Aeronautical Frequency Bands). This NTS topic is not covered by any Agency ETSO or by any FAA TSO. In comparison with the original German standard, a change has been introduced in the Performance Tests table on the 7 th page of the Draft ETSO-2C514. The electrostatic discharge test has been changed to mandatory test instead of if required as specified in Section 25 of ED-14E / DO-160E. 9. Reviewed national specifications not adopted to be transposed into ETSO: Apart from the proposed changes in the current CS-ETSO, the following existing national specifications have also been reviewed, but are considered by the Agency as not suited for transposition into ETSO: Specification related to Child s Flotation Cot This specification is not covered by any ETSO/any (FAA) TSO. The National Equipment Specification from CAA-UK Number 9, titled Child s Flotation Cot, issue 2, is considered to be no longer applicable (It is an old document and needs further review before being considered suitable for an ETSO). Note: ETSO-C13f, Life Preservers is applicable for infants up to 16 kg (35 pounds). The Agency has concluded that developing an ETSO for this specific equipment is not necessary. Specification related to Electrically operated Galley Equipment This specification is not covered by any ETSO/any (FAA) TSO. It was proposed to develop an ETSO based on the German standard NTS-19, Electrically operated Galley Equipment. In the mean time the FAA has however planned the development of TSO-C184 for Galley Equipment. EASA and EUROCAE are therefore planning to participate in this TSO development with the objective to develop a harmonised standard. Specification related to Portable Halon Type Fire Extinguishers Currently no ETSO is available for HALON type Extinguishers. There are two existing standards dealing with WATER type Extinguishers: - an existing EASA ETSO-2C19b from October 2003; - an existing FAA TSO-C19b from May Both are based upon SAE AS-245A. Page 7 of 48

8 The French DGAC developed the QAC-157 for HALON type Extinguishers (based on TSO C19b and AC20-42C requirements) and QAC-117 equivalent to TSO C19b, which is only for WATER type extinguishers. AC20-42D is however being developed and will replace the current AC20-42C. Since significant changes are introduced to AC20-42, the Agency has decided not to issue an ETSO based on the French standard QAC-157. When updates of AC20-42 are available, development of a standard for hand held fire extinguishers will be considered. Specification related to Quick Access Recorder It was intended to draft an ETSO adopting the French national equipment specification titled QAC 195. This standard was however never used and replaced by the specific Helicopter flight data recorder" ( QAR Helico document). The QAR Helico document uses requirements from EUROCAE ED-55, which is now superseded by ED In the mean time an update of ETSO-C124 Flight Data Recorder Systems is being developed by the Agency in a separate NPA, which will introduce the reference to ED Since the scope of ED-112 also covers helicopters, this revision of ETSO-C124 will therefore in effect also cover the subject as intended by this ETSO proposal. It is therefore not necessary to draft a separate ETSO for FDR specific for helicopters. V. Regulatory Impact Assessment 10. Purpose and Intended Effect. a) Issue which the NPA is intended to address EASA has initiated this activity to transform certain national specifications into European level standards in the form of EASA CS-ETSOs on a variety of subjects as described. The calls for this have come from users (including airlines), ANSPs and a variety of aviation stakeholders and the specific recommendations put forward by the Advisory Group of National Authorities (AGNA). b) Scale of the issue With the grandfathering provisions in Commission Regulation 1702/2003 all national approvals of equipment issued before are deemed to be EASA approvals. However some of the national standards used for the approval of the equipment do not exist at the European level. Without such a European standard for these equipments, it is not possible to design major changes or develop derivatives based on these equipments. This creates an economic disadvantage for the manufacturers of these equipments. A substantial number of manufacturers are facing this problem. c) Brief statement of the objectives of the NPA The objective of this NPA is to introduce new ETSO specifications related to various pre-selected subjects and based on transposition of existing national equipment specifications where no existing European level specifications exist. 11. Options. The options identified are: Option 1 Do nothing Page 8 of 48

9 Option 2 Adoption of selected National specifications. NPA No JUL 2007 Option 3 Analysis and if required amendment of the pre-selected National specifications in order to meet existing standards. EASA decided to task EUROCAE (the European Organisation for the Civil Aviation Equipment) to analyse these pre-selected national specifications proposed by CAA United Kingdom, LBA Germany and DGAC France. On this basis the Agency drafted the present NPA proposing new or up-dated ETSOs or providing the rationale for those not selected. 12. Sectors concerned. The introduction of these identified subjects into CS-ETSOs will mainly affect equipment manufactures and aircraft operators. 13. Impacts. i ii iii iv Safety The application of harmonised standards across Europe on particular identified subjects of interest is expected to provide minimum level or performance and characteristics leading to the improvement of safety through a consistent regulation and identified means of compliance for these issues. The existence of diverse standards leads to a lack of common understanding between operators, crew and maintenance personnel, which itself can have a negative effect on safety. Option 2 and 3 will have an equal effect on safety. Economic The establishment and the application of harmonised standards across Europe (and most probably beyond) on subjects of common interest provides the basis for equipment approvals independent from aircraft approvals. This has a positive effect on the market value and applicability of these equipments. The transposition of the national standards into ETSO in this particular NPA in addition lifts the restriction for further development of equipments based on the existing national specifications equipments. Option 2 will lift the restriction for further development or major changes of equipment based on the National standards. The applicability will in practice be limited since the standard will reflect a National standard. Option 3 will provide the possibility for a transposition of the National standard into a more generally recognised standard if available. This will have a positive effect because restrictions for further development are lifted and at the same time a generally accepted standard provides the opportunity for a market increase. Environmental No impact expected. Social No impact expected. Page 9 of 48

10 v vi Other aviation requirements outside EASA scope No impact expected. Foreign comparable regulatory requirements Option 3 provides the possibility to harmonise with US FAA TSO. 14. Equity and Fairness issues. All applicants are equally affected. 15. Summary and Final Assessment. The Agency concludes that option 3 is the preferred option. Option 3 will lift the restriction of further developments and major changes to equipment designed to selected existing National standards. At the same, if this National standard can be substituted by technically equivalent existing globally accepted standard, it can provide an opportunity for harmonisation. This will increase the positive economic effect compared to Option 2. Page 10 of 48

15 ETSO-C100b Appendix1 APPENDIX 1. MINIMUM PERFORMANCE STANDARD (MPS) FOR CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM (CRS) This appendix prescribes the MPS for CRS, modified by the Agency in this ETSO. The applicable standard is SAE AS5276/1, Performances Standard for Child Restraint Systems in Transport Category Airplanes dated November 2000, and is modified with additions in bold italics, as follows: 1. Page 1, paragraphs 1. (SCOPE), 1.1 (PURPOSE), and 1.2 (APPLICABILITY), page 2, paragraph 2. (REFERENCES), 2.1 and Disregard these paragraphs as similar text appears in TSO. 2. Page 2, paragraph reads as follows: ETSO C22g, Safety Belts DOT/FAA/AAM/-94/19, The Performance of Child Restraint Devices in: Transportation Category Seats. Gowdy and DeWeese, FAA Office of Aviation Medicine Report, September Page 4, replace paragraph 3.2 as follows: To secure a CRS in an airplane passenger seat, the device shall rely upon the passenger seat lap belt (pelvic restraint) or possibly rigid bar lower anchorages if the airplane seat is so equipped, as prescribed by 49 CFR S9. The latter would require the CRS to be equipped with lower anchorage hardware per 49 CFR S5.9(a), that is, adjustable webbing attachments or retractable/stowable rigid prongs. 4. Page 5, paragraph reads as follows: Where a CRS is equipped with prongs that attach the CRS to a rigid bar anchorage system in automobiles, as referenced in 49 CFR those prongs shall be retractable, in order to ensure proper positioning of the CRS in the airplane passenger seat and to avoid damage to the airplane seat. 5. Page 5, paragraph 3.3, Fire Protection, with modification reads as follows: 3.3 Cushions, upholstery, and all other exposed materials except small parts (knobs, triggers, fasteners, seals and electrical parts) that would not contribute significantly to the propagation of a fire shall meet the fire protection provisions of CS (a) [Appendix F, Part I (a)(1)(ii)]. Seat belts and shoulder harnesses shall meet [Appendix F, Part I (a)(iv)] 6. Page 5, replace paragraph 4, Performance Test Specifications, as follows: The dynamic test described in this section is used to evaluate the performance of the CRS in a horizontal impact where the force is applied against the longitudinal axis of a forward facing airplane passenger seat that holds the CRS. The structural adequacy of the CRS, the effectiveness of the CRS attachments, and the adequacy of restraint of the child occupant, as prescribed in 4.1, are the issues evaluated. One dynamic impact test shall be performed, with the CRS secured using the passenger seat lap belt, for each category of childoccupant, as defined in paragraph 2.3 of this AS, for which the CRS is intended for use. In addition, CRS that are equipped with lower anchorage attachment hardware per 49 CFR S5.9(a) may be tested with each category of child-occupant when secured using the rigid bar lower anchorages. 7. Page 6, paragraph 4.2, Test Fixtures, reads as follows: 4.2 The fixture on which the CRS is installed for the dynamic test is based on the seat fixture defined in 49 CFR s61.1(a)(1), (FMVSS-213) or a fixture that has been modified to accept the rigid bar lower anchorages per 49 CFR S9. For the test specified by Page 15 of 48

16 ETSO-C100b Appendix1 this AS, the back cushion, seat cushion, lap belts and belt anchor points are different from the standard FMVSS-213 seat configuration. Appendix A of this AS presents the locations, dimensions, and materials used to configure the FMVSS-213 fixture for the test specified by this AS. 8. Page 6, paragraph reads as follows: Passenger Seat Restraints: Airplane passenger seat lap belts shall be installed on the test fixture as the primary means of attaching the CRS to the seat fixture depicted in Appendix A of this AS. The buckle shall be a lift latch type release mechanism. The belts shall meet the requirements of ETSO-C22g and conform to the length dimensions shown in Appendix A, Figure A5 of this AS. The webbing shall be made of nylon. 9. Page 6, new paragraph reads as follows: Rigid Bar Lower Anchorages: Alternatively, CRS equipped with lower anchorage attachment hardware may be tested using the aforementioned modified test procedure. 10. Page 7, the last sentence of paragraph 4.5, Photometric Instrumentation, reads as follows: The resolution of the images shall be sufficient to enable accurate measurements of the maximum excursion of the head and knee of the ATD in Type III CRS tests, or the maximum rotation of the CRS in Type I and aft facing Type II CRS tests. 11. Page 7, new paragraph heading reads as follows: Passenger Seat Restraint: The CRS shall be installed in the test fixture and secured using the passenger seat lap belt in the manner specified by the manufacturer s instructions provided with the CRS. The maximum force applied to the free end of the lap belt webbing being pulled through the belt buckle tension retention mechanism shall not exceed 67 N (15lb) and the maximum force shall be applied for a period no longer than 3s. No other force may be applied to the CRS during the adjustment of the passenger seat lap belt. The CRS shall not be repositioned after the passenger seat lap belt has been tightened. 12. Page 7, new paragraph reads as follows: Rigid Bar Lower Anchorages: The CRS may be installed in the modified test fixture and secured to the rigid bar lower anchorages as follows: 13.

31 ETSO-2C513 Appendix 1 APPENDIX 1. TOW RELEASE 1. GENERAL 1.1 Type and applicability of airworthiness requirements These airworthiness requirements for tow releases (ETSO-2C513) are valid for proof of airworthiness of tow releases that are used for: a) towing steerable or non-steerable tow or built into such tow; b) or for towing by winch or motor vehicle. Note: Gliders and powered gliders are examples of steerable tows. Banners are examples of non-steerable tows. All the individual specifications listed below for ensuring the airworthiness of tow releases are minimum requirements that have been derived from operating experience and have been quantified as practical numerical values. Deviations from these requirements may be approved or requested by the Agency, if justified by new findings or safety considerations. 1.2 Type approval A tow release type can be approved on application in the form of an ETSO entitlement, provided that the airworthiness requirements are fully met, or, in the event of non-compliance of one or more requirements, if proof is provided that an equivalent safety level is achieved. The decision of the Agency is final The burden of proof is borne by the applicant, who also has to compile the type documentation The type documentation includes all the documentation necessary for the design specification of the tow release and all its design features that are subject matters of this ETSO. 2. DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION 2.1 Materials The suitability and reliability of the materials used must be shown based on operating experience or materials testing. All materials used for stressed parts must correspond to descriptions and specifications recognized by the Agency. Page 31 of 48

32 ETSO-2C513 Appendix Protection of parts Each part of the load transmitting assembly must a) be protected as fully as possible against influences that could cause damage or diminish strength during operation, including corrosion and wear; b) and designed in such a way that: no water can be collected and that; any dirt inside the tow release can be removed without disassembly. 2.3 Securing connecting elements Accepted security devices must be used for all non permanent connecting elements of the tow release. 2.4 Connecting ring pair For each tow release with a hook, a connecting ring pair according to LN (Luftfahrt-Norm) in the current valid version must be used. 2.5 Attachment to the aircraft The tow release must be designed to be attached to the aircraft using non permanent connecting elements. 2.6 Special requirements Tow releases with a moveable or fixed ring jaw must be designed in such a way that it is impossible to hook up the large oval ring of the connecting ring pair. It must be also impossible for the connecting ring pair to jam behind or either side of the hook It must not be possible, in any operating state, for the connecting ring pair to jam in the tow release jaw and thus inhibit the release Tow releases installed near the centre of gravity of the aircraft must have a mean for automatic release. 2.7 Long-term performance The documentation must include proof of at least 10,000 actuations of the tow release under operating conditions. No damage should occur during this time. 3. STRENGTH 3.1 Strength calculations Load tests according to and must show that the strength of the tow release is adequate to withstand any loads that may be put on it in any operating state that experience has shown may occur. Page 32 of 48

33 3.2 Criteria for sufficient dimensioning and safety factor NPA No JUL 2007 ETSO-2C513 Appendix The strength requirements are specified by the safe test load (the maximum expected cable load during operation) and the calculated breaking load (the maximum cable load multiplied by the specified safety factor) defined in 3.3. These loads are specified as limiting values in the test schedules for the functional tests A safety factor of 1.5 is specified. The unit must be able to: a) accept the safe test load without permanent damage in the form of deformation, notches, cracks, etc.; b) withstand the calculated breaking load without failure for at least 3 seconds. 3.3 Safe test load Tow releases used for the purposes as listed in 1.1 must be designed for a safe test load L max N that is derived as follows from CS and CS : L max = 1.2 x 1.3 x m x 9.81 [N] where 1.2 and 1.3: safety factors m: max. take-off weight 9.81 m/s² gravitational acceleration/conversion to Newton Note: For a maximum towed mass of, for instance, 850 kg the safe test load is thus: L max = 1.2 x 1.3 x 850 x 9.81 = 13,008 N = L max In-line weak links are ignored when determining the safe test load. 4. OPERATING BEHAVIOUR 4.1 Performance under load Safe operating range Within the limits of cable loads and cable angles specified in 5.1, every tow release must be able both to withstand the resultant load without impairing operational reliability and to release reliably Automatic release angle For tow releases for installation in gliders or powered gliders for towing by winch or motor vehicle the tow cable must release reliably at the automatic release angle specified in Release force Page 33 of 48
